  • Registration Form
    REGISTRATION FORM 20-27 FEBRUARY 2010 Welcome to Wanaka Wanaka with its beautiful lake surrounded by glorious snow-capped mountains has to be one of the most stunning places to visit in the world. It is held that Wanaka was named after a Maori Chief of the name Oanaka. Early European farming settlers came into the district in the 1850s but it wasn’t until Theodore Russell built his Wanaka Hotel in 1867 that the settlement of Pembroke (now present day Wanaka) began. Right up into the 1870s Albert Town was the centre of the Wanaka district, but in 1873 it reluctantly ceded defeat as the district centre when authorities built a Post Office at Pembroke. It wasn’t until 1st September 1940 that Pembroke officially became Wanaka by the will of the people. This jewel of the south now welcomes Cavalcaders, most of whom will travel routes the old settlers and miners used nearly 160 years ago. The going will be a lot easier but the grandeur of the country remains much the same. I know you will spare a thought for those tough Old Timers who forged the way for our benefit. “No town in New Zealand can boast such beautiful surroundings or a healthier or more salubrious climate.” (From Dunedin newspapers of the 1880s) Poem the dawn came in splendour the snow peaks were flaming the mist was below like a great rolling sea. till it lifted and showed us the land we were seeking the broad smiling waste where our station would be!
